Electronic Database
The ECOTEACH Electronic Database is a central component of the ECOTEACH Virtual Classroom, designed to provide educators with structured access to high-quality educational resources related to STEM education, Environment-Based Learning (EBL), sustainability, inclusion, and innovative teaching methodologies.
The Database functions as an organised and pedagogically validated repository that supports teachers in implementing engaging and meaningful science and mathematics learning experiences connected to real environmental contexts. It includes a wide range of resources such as projects, good practices, policy documents, digital tools, methodologies, and classroom materials selected for their educational relevance and practical applicability.
Through this Database, educators can discover transferable ideas, innovative approaches, and accessible digital resources that support inclusive STEM education, particularly in disadvantaged schools and learning environments. The platform also promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing, and long-term sustainability by making validated educational resources openly available to the wider educational community.
You can navigate all the resources included in the Database, or search specific resources by selecting among ‘Category‘, ‘Language‘ ‘Country of origin‘ or ‘Type of resource‘. You can also make an open search by typing any text in the ‘Text search‘.
